Well. Since you included "aviation" in general I'll throw in a couple of my "must reads". Mine tend to drift towards the military/wartime "holy moly", genre!
As your list, no particular order, just some memorable reads.
Fate is the Hunter- Ernest Gann- Some crazy stuff
Flying the Hump- Otha Spencer--A bunch of books about this but I enjoyed this one.
Angel in the SKy- A kind of fascinating account of the founding of the Israeli Air force. Imagine a Beach Bonanza Bomber?
Sketches of a BlackCat. hard to imagine the type of flying they did
Stuka Pilot- Hans Rudel This book puts you in the mud and fog with a legendary aircraft and pilot.
Wings of Adventure- Dale Titler- A Compilation of stories. Picked this up at a yard sale years ago and found it pretty interesting.
